Success!!!!

This morning’s launch could not have gone more perfect. Great weather and no hiccups as far as setting up the payload or filling the balloon with helium. Tracking went perfect as well and came down very close to our predicted landing spot.

Many more pictures and HD video will be coming soon after I’ve had time to process it, but here is a little appetizer:

Our HAB Project

This site encompasses every area of our project to launch a high altitude weather balloon (HAB) 19 miles above the earth while capturing HD video. Each post details one area of the project. If you want to simply see the end results, find the posts close to the top of the page. If you are looking to do your own HAB project then start at the bottom and work your way up!

**Special thanks to the Midlands Technical College Foundation for fully funding our project. Without their support this project would not have been possible.**
